I've talked about the work we've been doing with @anduriltech on our clean-sheet hybrid, autonomous aircraft design, but I haven't been able to say much beyond that.

Today, that aircraft was down-selected by the UK Ministry of Defence for Project NYX, the British Army's program to develop autonomous "loyal wingman" VTOL aircraft designed to operate alongside Apache helicopters.

We opened our engineering hub in Bristol specifically to support this work and that UK aerospace talent is already helping accelerate the effort.

I’m confident we have the right team building the right aircraft to deliver what the British Army needs. Can't wait to show the world what we've been working on.

Deepening partnership. Advancing Aerial Mobility.

Always a pleasure to spend time with our partners at @JAL_Official_jp as we work together to bring the benefits of @flyarcher air taxi service to Japan.

The country has always been a leader in transportation infrastructure development and is positioned to lead in the next generation of mobility!

[Archer @flyarcher]

🇯🇵 Hosting @JAL_Official_jp CEO Mitsuko Tottori at Archer HQ.

During the visit, she met with Archer leadership, flew the Midnight simulator from KIX (Kansai International Airport) across Osaka Bay to UKB (Kobe Airport), toured our manufacturing facilities here in Silicon Valley, and discussed the partnership to launch air taxi services in Japan.

[Archer @flyarcher]

Hardware is hard. We do it anyway. Come build it at Archer.

[Archer @flyarcher]

We just released our 2025 Q4 and full year operating and financial results. Here are the highlights:

➡️ Piloted VTOL Operations on Track for eIPP and UAE with Expanded Midnight Fleet
➡️ 100% FAA Acceptance of Midnight’s Means of Compliance
➡️ Expanded Defense Opportunities and Powertrain Sales
➡️ Ended Quarter With ~$2.0 Billion in Liquidity

[Adam Goldstein @adamgoldstein13]

Midnight piloted vtol flight is a beautiful sight.

@flyarcher x @KoreanAir_KE ✅

A powerful partnership to make the next generation of aviation a reality in Korea!

[Archer @flyarcher]

Archer x @KoreanAir_KE 🇰🇷

We're proud to announce that Korean Air has selected Archer as its exclusive partner to introduce eVTOL aircraft in Korea with Midnight - including a potential purchase of up to 100 Midnight aircraft.

This collaboration positions Korea to be a leader in AAM and aims to lay the foundation for the broad adoption of Archer’s aircraft nationwide. We look forward to partnering with Korean Air!

[Andrew Cummins @theonly_ABC]

Very proud to be working with the highly skilled teams at @SCL_official_jp @JAL_Official_jp and Sumitomo Corp as we work to realize the next generation of aviation in Japan.

[Archer @flyarcher]

Osaka has named Japan Airlines (@JAL_Official_jp) & Sumitomo Corporation’s JV, Soracle (@SCL_official_jp), with Archer’s Midnight as its air taxi partner. This makes Archer the only U.S. eVTOL manufacturer set to play a key role in the establishment of air taxi services in Osaka.

Additionally, Archer’s CEO, @adamgoldstein13, Japan’s Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Hiromasa Nakano (@Hiro_NAKANO_), the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau and the Japanese Consul General recently met to discuss plans to bring Archer’s air taxis to Japan to position the country as a leader in advanced air mobility.

Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 X Archer 🇺🇸

Great catching up with Minister of Transport and Logistics Services, H.E. @SalehAlJasser here at @salondubourget — exciting to see our shared vision for AAM continuing to advance. #PAS25

Inside look at a major milestone of @flyarcher Midnight aircraft. Onwards!

Midnight piloted flight. Pure cinema.

[Adam Goldstein @adamgoldstein13]

.@flyarcher's pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and reshaping the future of aviation for years to come. As I’ve talked about before, 2025 is an inflection point for Archer.

On the commercial front, after years of engineering work and flight tests, the team is focused on transitioning to piloted operations and early commercial deployment. We remain on track to launch later this year in the UAE, and are preparing for subsequent deployments with Midnight “Launch Edition” customers in several other international markets. The Archer Defense team is deeply integrated with their counterparts at @anduriltech through our exclusive partnership to build the next generation, hybrid-electric VTOL for the U.S. and its allies. All of this is complemented by the work we are doing to build an AI-based aviation software platform of the future in partnership with @PalantirTech.

Our progress speaks for itself—but its made even clearer by the caliber of companies who have chosen to partner with us. Anduril selected Archer to jointly shape the next generation of defense aviation. Palantir chose Archer to pioneer, AI-driven aviation technologies. And soon, we’ll be announcing what I think will be one of the industry’s most important partnerships. Stay tuned.

We still remain in the early innings of a generational opportunity. Our team is relentless in its commitment to build. I can’t wait to continue to showcase it for all of you as we continue to forge ahead.

.@flyarcher is bringing flying cars to NYC. Yes, flying cars. Thanks for having me @adamgoldstein13!

Epic backdrop @united

[Adam Goldstein @adamgoldstein13]

Spent time with @tedcruz and other members of his team in DC last week. He’s done a great job making Texas a pro-business environment and, like me, is bullish on the future of aviation.

To make the future we want, we have to build it. More to come.

[Archer @flyarcher]

Spring vibes.

[Andrew Cummins @theonly_ABC]

Electric aviation landing in the UAE in 2025! @flyarcher is excited to announce our partnership with Abu Dhabi Aviation to launch air taxi services across the UAE, providing safe, fast and affordable mobility across the Emirates.

[Archer @flyarcher]

Introducing the Midnight “Launch Edition” program – our pragmatic and repeatable commercialization playbook to deploy Midnight to dozens of early adopter markets. The program enables Archer to build operational expertise, generate revenue and continue to strengthen long-term demand.

Our first Launch Edition customer is Abu Dhabi Aviation. ADA plans to deploy the first Midnight aircraft later this year in Abu Dhabi with the continued support of @InvestAbuDhabi.

[Andrew Cummins @theonly_ABC]

@flyarcher electric aircraft, Midnight, crusin’ on a beautiful California day.

Raised another $300M to help @flyarcher reshape the future of aviation in the U.S. In full transparency, we hadn’t planned to raise additional capital after our $430M raise in December, but…

- I believe the opportunity for advanced vertical lift aircraft across defense is substantially larger than I originally expected and this capital will help us invest in critical capabilities to capture the opportunity
- We continue to see strong interest from some of the world’s largest institutional investors, like @BlackRock

Now we have ~$1B in liquidity. Let’s build!

[Adam Goldstein @adamgoldstein13]

Japan has always led in transportation systems development and is poised to be a leader in advanced air mobility. @flyarcher is proud to partner with Sumitomo Corporation, @JAL_Official_jp & Soracle to bring air taxis to market. It was great meeting with Sumitomo Corp CEO Mr Shingo Ueno and @FlyANA_official Chairman Mr Shinya Katanozaka to discuss the future of aviation in Japan.

[Andrew Cummins @theonly_ABC]

Game changing companies bring game changing capability to the market.

[Archer @flyarcher]

Hybrid Propulsion. Vertical Lift. American Made.

We're teaming up with @anduriltech for an exclusive, strategic partnership to build the future of military aircraft.

Our initial project together is a jointly developed hybrid-propulsion, vertical-lift aircraft for critical defense applications, with engineering efforts already underway. To accomplish this, we’re pairing our ability to rapidly develop advanced VTOL aircraft with Anduril's deep expertise in artificial intelligence, missionization and systems integration.

To support this, we also announced that we’ve raised an additional $430M in equity capital bringing our liquidity to ~$1B. This gives us one of the strongest balance sheets in the sector.
